At the Exposition.
Yesterday was Children's day at the
Exposition, and despite the inclemency
of the weather it was complete success
in all respects. The throng of young
STEERS was something wonderful, and all
types and conditions of childhood were
represented. The pampered, richly
dressed miss of society circles could be
seen standing side by side with the free
and-eaSy looking child of a poorer class;
the ruddy-cheeked girl from the country
rushed through the aiSles, followed
by Il harum-scarum crowd of school
boys, all bent on fun, but
soaring the police 0ts& of their wits lest
something awful would happen from
the mad flight of these gay young raS-
Gals. Credit is due to the officers in the
building that nothing did happen, for it
was no mean job to keep in order the
thousand and one bad boys" who took
IN the sights. The third floor seemed
the tavorite happy hunting ground of
the young folks, because the diarama
was there and also the toy exhibit from
the local firm of Woolf Bros. About
O'Clock, when the curtain went
up at the diarama, mass of
lnfantile life was gathered around
that interesting show, and, as the scenes
were gradually unfolded TO view, the
delight of the kids was boundleSS. They
yelled, they danced and shouted, as only
happy children can. and at the cOnclu-
sion let such cheers out of their little
mouths that the attention of the whole
people was directed to that section of
the building. At WOOlf Bros booth
there was steady crowd all day, the
young ones having caught on to the
toys, which really are perfectly Won
derful. There are clOckwork
goods from Paris and Germany
that are marvels of ingenuity
The bear walked, and the young ones
laughed; the dog twisted his head and
shook his tail, and the children
screamed; the ballet dancer hoped in
the puppet show. and a chorus sang out
of little maidenS, "0h Cora amt that
too sweet for anything-'and that was
the way they kept it up all day.
TIE BEAUTIFUL CONCERT.
The most enjoyable event of the day
was given between and o'clock. The
details OF this very pleasant feature were
managed all day by Will Steele, and ev-
erything passed off successfully, the

opened with pretty medley of popular
airs rendered by the Juvenile band with

and elegantly finished goods in their
line. After examining their display at
the Exposition building it will pay you

avenue.
GRAIN SECURING MACHINE.
Joseph Yates, of 702 Lumber eX-
change, has an exhibit of one of the
most practical and thorough grain
securing, polishing and shutter ma
chimes in the market. 1t is a machine
universally used in all of the largest
mills of this and other cities, and gives
the utmost satisfaction. Mr.. Yates was
connected with the extensive milling
firm of c. A. Pillsbury q Co. for eight
years, and learned from practical ex-
perience what was required to supply
machine is that the grain is operated
upon by a series corrugated
disks. arranged at intervals on
a vertical shaft and radial blades
beveled gradually from the rear to the
front on their upper sides, and arranged
on another vertical shaft so as to inter
vene or extend between and alternate
with the discs. By simple device the
blades and the discs can be brought
nearer together or apart at the pleasure
of the operator. The blades revolve at
diferential velocity by pulleys of diff
ferent size. The blades turn less rap
idly than the discs, and force the grain
up and down their roughened faces,
which causes the kernels to rub each
other against the discs, thoroughly
securing it before discharging. The
machine differs vastly in its principle to
any other. and when once used millers
find it indispensable. Mr.. Yates makes
the challenge to place his machine
against any other in the world, and is
so confident of his machine that he
offers to place one with any responsible
party on thirty days trial, and if not
satisfactory to pay all expenses in plac-
ing and taking it out.
